libio is Per's iostream code (and stdio, but most targets don't use that).
libstdc++ is the rest of the standard library.
libg++ is Doug Lea's old C++ class library.

The libg++ directory hasn't been modified because it doesn't relate to the
standard, and we're not interested in maintaining it anymore (I think;
right, Ulrich?).  Someone else is welcome to take it over.
